Hinweis der Redaktion
- There are other hepatitis virus (D, E, G), but they are far less common in the U.S.
- New treatments for HCV are expected to increase âcureâ rates from 40% to up to 80%.
- Section 317 (a.k.a. Immunization Grant Program) is available nationwide and provides vaccines to underinsured children and adolescents as well as to uninsured/underinsured adults âas funding permits.â
- Persons living with HCV are one of the group sat greatest risk for complications related to super-infection of hepatitis A or B. As a result, the CDC recommends that all persons living with HCV, or at-risk for exposure to the virus, be vaccinated against HAV and HBV.
- Currently working with 8 sites around Seattle. Currently have 13 active volunteer nurses/doctor (of 21 trained), including one nurse who does primarily street outreach.
- 93 people are receiving the vaccine according to the accelerated dosing schedule, which means they need a 4 th booster dose one year from the 1 st dose; currently 74 of these people have 3 of the 4 doses.
